I can’t watch with sound right now, but I’m hoping this turns out well. It’s from the guys who brought us Pineapple Express and Eastbound and Down, both of which were incredibly funny in my opinion. I’ll see it based on the strengths of their other works, which wouldn’t really be described as gross out comedies. ---

> [@ArchiveGuy](#): > > This was directed by David Gordon Green, who I think has made a lot of terrific films (_George Washington, All the Real Girls, Pineapple Express_), so while I’m not expecting it to be more than him in Mel Brooks-mode, I still will definitely be there. Heh, you stole my point. “From the director of All The Real Girls and George Washington…” I’m not even sure which is the real David Gordon Green anymore. ---

This looks awesome. I am definitely seeing it. ---

I like a lot of the people associated with this, but based on that trailer, I can’t help but think it’ll be a HUGE waste of talent, ---
